Brisbane's logo looks pi**ed at the result, while the tiger is like "yeeeeeeeeeeesh".

Lion looks a bit like Luke Hodge.

 

[06Premiers]

GWS for me. Finals hardened against a team thats a little overawed by finals. The lions did play pretty good just choked massively Infront of goal.

Let's see how Brisbane perform next year with a tougher draw and the weight of expectation placed on them.

I think Brisbane will win a close game.

Remind me a lot like us in 2011. Young team with experienced players sprinkled throughout the field that unexpectedly jump up the ladder.
Massive choke in week 1 of finals, completely overawed by the occassion.
Then respond to win a close game at home against a team who'd played finals before, followed by a gallant defeat in prelim.

GWS
EF: Bulldogs
SF: Lions
PF: Magpies
GF: Tigers

WCE:
EF: Bombers
SF: Cats
PF: Tigers
GF Magpies

I reckon our first two rounds are easier than theirs. Would rather play Magpies than Tigers in Prelim, but we aren't playing just to make a Grand Final. Any team who wants to win the flag is going to have to beat the Tigers at some stage or another, whether it is a Prelim or Grand Final doesn't really matter.

I think a PF at the MCG against the Pies or Tigers is also tougher than a GF due to the crowd factor, it'll be more one sided than the GF. Would've loved a Tigers Eagles GF but hey, we'll do it any way we have to.

Yeah I tend to agree. As much as I'd love to see them win if not us, I just don't see it happening this year.

We didn't massively choke in the first week of 2011. We got within 2 goals of the flag favourite.

We hardly choked in week 1, 2011

Collingwood were the reigning premiers at their own ground and had only lost 2 games all year.

Choke probably too strong a term for our performance. 20 point loss to eventual premiers at their home ground was a good result.
More referring to Shuey being caught a few times, and a few other players not performing at their best.

Brisbane's performance was more of a choke I guess. At home, won a heap of key stats, couldn't convert easy shots.

In our case, it was the making of the man & team. We'll see how it affects Brisbane's future.

Yeah I think GWS as well even though the Lions home ground advantage and crowd will be massive but I’m not sure Brisbane can back up with 2 tough pressure games..

what section are you in? tossing up whether to go or watch it at the pub.

What mate? Tossing up about going if you live in Melbourne??????? * me side ways

 

[Wild Kelly]

I’m sorry, but an umpire can’t miss a blatant throw like that. They should be watching the play and if they were, they would not have missed it. Reiwolt was pi**ing himself laughing after he kicked the goal! If that cost a finals game, any game, I would be livid. It’s just incompetence.

You would think that there would have been two umpires in the vicinity with eyes on the play. At least one of them should have seen this.

Yeah i'm with you mate.

Richmond was already on a disgustingly good roll with the umpires and then that bollocks happens.

Commentary were all laughing about it like it's a joke but it really pissed me off at the time.

Speaking of bollocks, I'll NEVER get over this s**t.

Yep. Could tolerate him before that. Since that (which pretty much turned that game) he became a dick.

Karma got Brent Harvey when we knocked his team out of the Finals that year.

Bit harsh on Matt Priddis imo.

Got his troll Brownlow. Thats all we needed him to do before deciding to win Premierships again.

"Heh heh.. Boomer Harvey, fooled them all. Just too clever" - Commentary team

Only person he 'fooled' was a blind umpire who hopefully never officiated another game

[Dazzler9]

Don Pyke has quit.

[I'm assuming the Non Eagles Discussion thread is still closed?]

 

[HoneyBadger35]

But I had been reliably informed that Pyke was the mastermind behind this team?

 

[ep2018]

Get him back to the club.

 

[CM9000]

That's a pretty bad decision with Pyke IMO. Sure, Adelaide have been dismal off and on the field, but it's been less then two years since they finished on top of the ladder and made a GF. It would be a bit like us sacking Simmo in 2017 (although Adelaide are significantly worse), and we all know how that turned out. The Crows still have the set up for a successful team.

Nah, the whole place is a shambles. In 2017 WC was still a very good club off field and competitive on field. The same cant be said of the Crows. They went very quickly down hill and are facing a player exodus. Right decision for both parties, it wasnt working. Now they need to get rid of the heirachy as well but that probably wont happen.

 

[Ok Boomer]

Adelaide, what a rabble.

Hero to zero in two years.

Still, there were many of the same feelings at Adelaide this year as there were here in 2017. Their issues did go a year longer than ours, and admittedly, are substantially worse, but I don't think it all falls on Pyke. There are others (i.e. Burton, as Crows fans keep saying) that deserve to go before him

IMO and going by some of the Crows supporters think the hierarchy may be where the real problem lies - a real boys Club from all accounts. Two years is a long time in football!
